Bird Dog BBQ (http://birddogbbq.com/) gets rave reviews; there are two locations, one on Powers on the east side of town, and one in the Shops at Briargate on the north side. Front Range BBQ (http://www.frbbq.com/) is in Old Colorado City; I hear the bbq is pretty good, and they have good live bands on most Wednesday evenings. It's just a neat vibe. Great tap beer selection, too.

I don't know if you've had Colorado green chili before, but diners like King Chef and Western Omelette make good versions. Grease bombs, but you're just there to get fat and carbs as a green chili vehicle.
